I don't think you belong here. You're supposed to whine and bitch bitterly about "Kids these days".

I figure the future of education looks like this. Where anyone can sign up for courses, and if they don't get it, they can either drop it or hire a tutor.

1 teacher per subject per 300 students is an anachronism. It should have gone away when textbooks became ridiculously cheap to print.

Why can't one single teacher deal with millions of students?

Or are you stuck on the system you grew up with, unable to imagine any improvements?

<i>Similarly, MBAs are great at running businesses. </i>

Incorrect. An MBA is only proven to be great at one thing. Getting a Masters in Business degree.

Book is out of print and 33$ used.

Why would you sell your company for what it is worth now? Why not just keep it and the money it generates?

That's why.

Flux happens.

Why do you think borrowed money is "cheap"?

We're not paying it back. Any of it. At best we can cover the interest payments.

Why do you think this won't blow up in our faces?

Why couldn't they just raise taxes?

I stopped caring about the environment, when I saw that being an environmentalist meant stopping any and all human development.

When environmentalists get together and start building power plants and oil wells, then I'll know they're serious about saving the environment.

I cared, up to paragraph 682 in his article.
